Considered Both Products	Mapbox Jeff Chambers Co-Founder Chose Mapbox No comparison, much easier to use than Google to design your maps. Incentivized Helpful? Fedor Paretsky Co-Founder/CEO Chose Mapbox Mapbox provides many more services, like the Navigation SDK, Vision SDK (currently in beta), and Styles Gallery that allows companies to create a much more design-friendly frontend for a very low cost.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Mapbox There are not a lot of direct competitors in the Mapbox space except for really Google Maps/Earth.

Firaz Peer Instructor Chose Mapbox One feature that made me go in favor of Mapbox was its stellar documentation. Google Maps and Bing Maps are the other alternatives I considered, but the learning curve with both of them is steeper than it is with Mapbox.

User Testimonials
	Mapbox	SURE Aerial
Likelihood to Recommend	Mapbox is great if you have a BI or Data Visualization problem while working with either large datasets or you want a high level of control on the design of your geospatial data. Also fantastic options for integrating maps onto your website or into your Android or iOS app. Basically, if you need a map in any shape, way, or form and you want a lot of detailed control over it, Mapbox is the way to go.

Pros	Excellent documentation and worked examples makes it easy for newbies to get started. Works well across web or mobile platforms. Clean looking default map styles make your designs look professional. Since it is built on top of Leaflet.js, it is easily extensible. So any feature or function that is not available within the Mapbox.js API can be imported from other API's. Incentivized Firaz Peer Instructor Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	I'm not a huge GIS nerd, so for what we are doing it is pretty solid. The pricing model is a bit confusing, but the product is fantastic. Incentivized Jeff Chambers Co-Founder Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	It is a good tool to use. We can perform various customisations; I always end up exploring and finding a new feature that can be used in my work somewhere. And one good thing is that is actually quite reasonable in terms of cost, with the free tier being quite adequate Incentivized AK Anirudh Kaushik Operations Head Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Mapbox provides many more services, like the Navigation SDK, Vision SDK (currently in beta), and Styles Gallery that allows companies to create a much more design-friendly frontend for a very low cost. Mapbox has also put a lot more resources into their search-related APIs to make them just as quick and accurate as the Google Maps search products. There is also a lot more innovation happening at Mapbox, with new geo/map products released regularly. Innovation and growth at the Google Maps API seems to be happening much slower.

Return on Investment	I don't think this is a fair question for me to answer. Apart from our time we have not invested anything into Mapbox - so from that perspective the ROI is great! Great returns without any investment! Incentivized John Roberts Enterprise Reporting Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
